Did a fight really disrupt the netball tournament at Pulapol Segamat?
Verdict:
TRUE
Police have confirmed that an incident involving a group of women wearing 'Perkep' jerseys - the Police Family Association - did occur, but it happened in May.
Superintendent Ahmad Zamry Marinsah, the Segamat District Police Chief, stated they were aware of the video titled "Hari Sukan Perkep Bertukar Kecoh" circulating recently on social media.
The investigation revealed that the incident took place on May 24 during a netball tournament at the Johor People's Sports Carnival 2025, held at the Open Hall of the Segamat Police Training Centre (Pulapol).
The commotion was triggered by dissatisfaction over perceived violations of match rules set by the organisers.
"However, the situation was successfully defused, and both parties chose to resolve the matter amicably without any unwanted incidents," said Ahmad Zamry.
The involved parties were summoned to the Segamat District Police Headquarters to give statements.
On May 29, police received reports from both parties regarding the incident, and they maintained their decision not to escalate the issue as it had been resolved amicably.
The public is advised against spreading or making inaccurate statements about the incident.

#NSTviral: Police families' Sports Day turns briefly brawny
SEGAMAT: What was meant to be a fun-filled sports day ended with more shoving than scoring, after a group of women clad in Perkep jerseys found themselves in a mid-court scuffle that has since gone viral. Perkep, short for Persatuan Keluarga Polis (Police Family Association), is a support organisation made up of police personnel's family members. It runs charity events, raises scholarship funds, and provides soft loans to its members. A widely shared three-minute-and-34-second video, titled "Hari Sukan PERKEP Bertukar Kecoh", showed participants in matching jerseys shoving and shouting during a netball match at the Johor state-level Jementah carnival, held at the Pulapol Segamat open hall on May 24. The video, which was uploaded to YouTube, began making the rounds on social media yesterday. It captured a brief altercation following what appeared to be a disagreement over match rules. District police chief Superintendent Ahmad Zamry Marinsah said that the incident stemmed from alleged violations of game regulations, which sparked tension between the two teams. "The provocation led to some physical contact, but the situation was quickly brought under control. Both sides have since resolved the matter amicably and no untoward incident occurred," Zamry said in a statement yesterday. He added that both parties were called to the Segamat police headquarters to have their statements recorded. Police reports were also lodged confirming that neither side wished to pursue the matter further. "They have formally agreed not to escalate the issue," he said. Zamry urged the public to refrain from circulating the video or making inaccurate comments, particularly as the matter has been peacefully settled.
